----------
That's all for now, I think we're doing well, a few more injuries on that last mission than I would have liked but at least I was able to capture all three of the aliens. We still need to capture a Thin Man and get some additional research and promotions in before I'll be comfortable in assaulting the Alien Base. Stay tuned, I hope to get another play session in a little later this week!
